5. Connecting Electrical Loads
You will want to be careful when connecting loads so as not to overload the generator, especially if you are
powering devices with motors that require a higher starting power load.
Instructions are provided below for connecting loads when you are using the generator:
•
As a portable power source
•
Connected to a building as a back-up power source
WARNING :
DO NOT overload generator. Make sure that combined starting and running loads do not
exceed rated capacity of generator. Overloading the generator can cause damage to the
generator and attached electrical devices, and may result in fire.
Using as a
portable power
source Connect electrical loads one at a time according to the following instructions:
1. Allow engine to reach operating speed by allowing it to warm up for
approximately 5 minutes before connecting electrical devices.
2. After engine is warmed up, begin by connecting the items that require the
highest wattage first. The recommended sequence is as follows:
a) Connect items with motors such as refrigerators, freezers, air conditioners,
or small hand tools, one at a time. Let each motor stabilize before
connecting the next device.
b) Connect any lights you are planning on powering.
Connect voltage sensitive equipment such as electronics via surge
protectors. Plug devices such as TV’s, computers, and microwaves into a
UL listed voltage surge protector, then plug the surge protector into the
generator.
Using as a
back-up power
source for a building Each transfer switch installation will be unique.
Proper instructions for how to safely bring the gene rator online with the building’s
electrical system should be provided by the installing electrician, who should also
provide personal instruction to the owner/operator.
Failure to follow the proper procedure as provided by the electrician could expose
persons to the hazards noted above.
6. Stopping the Engine
Stop the engine using the following steps:
1. Disconnect all loads to the generator.
2. Turn engine switch to OFF position.
3. Turn gasoline fuel line valve to the OFF position or turn the propane tank valve off.
WARNING :
Let generator cool for at least five minutes before moving or storing. A hot generator can be a fire hazard.
Generator and engine surface temperature is still hot after shutdown.
